The transfer doesnt quite work
1 September 2021
've missed the likes of Chabuddy G , MC Grindah , DJ Beats and Steves since the brilliant BBC comedy People Just Do Nothing left our TV screens three years ago here in the UK . So when I heard they were bringing out a film , I couldn't wait to see it , but sadly , like one of Chabuddy's business deals , this spin off , falls flat on its face .

After Brentfords largest Pirate radio has ended, the boys from Kurupt FM find their way to Japan on a epic adventure in search of Fortune and Fame.

This is not a bad film it's just extremely disappointing. Perhaps that's because I'm a fan and was expecting more laughs but I can't help but think , what on would someone who hasn't watched the show think about this movie . I'd suspect they might be a little confused.

The whole concept of them going to Japan and having their profile changed to suit a Japanese audience is an obvious one but the writers didn't take advantage of the situation as well as they could have .

There are a few funny moments , and the people in the theatre were laughing but just not enough .

Perhaps the format is only suited to being a 25 minute long TV episode and not a film and maybe it being set abroad takes the characters out of their comfort zone too much ?

I still hope they revive the TV show because I don't think it's done it's course but that's where it should stay as the transfer to big screen just didn't quite work.
